Without a little bit of chlorine as part of the treatment process, there would undoubtedly be a huge uptick in waterborne pathogens so I understand why it's there (to BigDaddy's point).
That being said, I would encourage you to look into getting a reverse osmosis system as I don't particularly want to drink chlorine (as well as my wife and son).
The bigger problem in our water is the amount of fluoride. There's far more data showing that to have negative health impacts than chlorine. Reverse osmosis will get a good portion of the fluoride out but still leave quite a bit behind. I use a special pitcher filter to get most of the remaining fluoride out of our actual drinking water.
I agree with your comment...I had a reverse osmosis under my sink that leaked or broke...can't remember and flooded some of the basement.... not good...
I actually use zero water filter at the sink now and I am pleased with that...we have pitchers in all the bathrooms...I have attached an article to show that it takes out fluoride. I tried other pitchers and they were not effective. I love that zero water gives you a tester so you can see the quality of the filtration process. The water really is quite good and I drink water as about 80% of my liquid throughout the day...so I am pleased...
